-We are back with Will Forte.
And, Will, we have heard your dog.
Your dog has been chewing on something.
And you also -- Was that your puppy?
-Yes.
We just got a puppy about six weeks ago.
So it's about 12 weeks old now.
Mud Butt.
-So you got Mud Butt during the pandemic,
which is very kind of you,
because obviously I think dogs --
Harder finding owners at a time like this.
-Yes. Yes, we actually found him
on the way up to our self-isolation,
so we -- Yeah.
-And how is it going so far?
Because, you know, this isn't the best time maybe
to be house-training a dog.
-I feel like it's -- I mean, it is --
It is, to me, I think, a really good time, because...
-Yeah, I guess you're right. -...you're gonna be there
always -- You know, we're training it to get outside now.
I've never potty-trained a dog before.
I've had dogs when I was growing up.
But we just -- We were horrible dog owners,
and we just kept the dog outside.
And the dogs would just poo wherever they wanted to.
So this, this --
But it is a full-time job.
I mean, for sure 50% of the time
is cleaning up dog poo or pee or dog vomit.
-Dog segue, you're in the new --
Is it the film, "The Scoob"?
-Yeah, yeah.
-And you're the voice of Shaggy?
-I'm the voice of Shaggy.
-Can we hear a little Shaggy?
-Oh, my God. Uh --
I guess the best thing I can say is, "Zoinks."
-[ Laughs ] Very, very, very good.
-"Scoob." You know, I don't got --
I would try to practice getting into character for the voice
every time I'd go in there.
And, God, it would take me forever.
And I wouldn't even know if I would get in the right --
to the right place, so, like, being put on the spot.
-You -- I mean, my memory of you at "SNL," 'cause you didn't --
Not from lack of talent, you did not do a ton of impressions.
And if you were ever given an impression,
you would basically do that voice in the hall
for seven straight days leading up to the show.
-Well, this is -- You know, it's a -- It's a --
Being put in this position,
which is, I mean, it's an honor to get to do this,
'cause Casey Kasem is --
You know, what an iconic voice that he created.
And then Matthew Lillard did a friggin' fantastic job,
I thought. -He really, really did.
-So it was very nerve-racking.
But I've been in this situation before,
because, you know, like you said, when I was at "SNL,"
I had to do George W. Bush after Will Ferrell.
And so it's just --
It's an impossible task.
Like, it's --
I didn't want anybody to do George Bush after Will Ferrell.
And then to... -Right.
-...be the person who has to do it is scary.
-Can I put you on the spot here
and ask you to do maybe my favorite impression of yours?
You have a one-word impression you would do for John McCain.
Do you remember that?
-"Friends?"
-Great. Thank you so much.
Really, just as good as I remembered it.
So, this is true. This is a true thing that I'm so excited about,
and I was lucky enough to read a couple of the scripts.
"MacGruber" is going to be a television show.
Is that -- That is accurate.
-It is. We're --
We are still waiting for the official green light.
But it's looking good.
And we're moving towards it.
We're almost done writing the series.
It would be an eight-episode series, yeah.
-So, Will, this was a film that is a fantastic film,
"MacGruber," that did not, I think we can say,
make a ton of money at the box office.
And yet, in the decade since, I'm assuming you, like me,
have heard from so many people how much they love that film.
-It was written off for dead
when it defecated the bed at the box office.
But then I think people have given it a second chance.
I hope -- You know, we were so proud of that movie
that it was tough to take when it first did so poorly.
But then we thought, "You know what?
Screw everybody, you know? We love this thing,
and, you know, we spent a lot of time on all these dick jokes."
-Yeah. I think they're some of the smartest dick jokes
you'll ever see on film. And I just --
-Well, because the jokes are from you.
-Oh, thank you.
But it's a film that I'm always, with no exception,
when people tell me they haven't seen it, I --
You know, I'll say, "I promise
whatever your expectations are for it,
it is so much better than that."
-The movie is not for everybody.
Like 1 out of every 500,000 people maybe like it,
but like it to a nice degree.
So with the series, I feel like people who like the movie --
Like, if you loved the movie,
one out of every five of those people will love the series.
So we're getting better.
We're getting better with our, you know --
1 out of every 500,000. Now it's --
No. We're -- If you liked the movie,
I think you're gonna like what we're doing.
It's kind of -- About seven years after the movie ends
is when the series takes up.
And it's pretty fun so far.
-I can't wait.
Thank you so much for making time for us today.
I love you so much, will.
Congrats again on your engagement.
And I will see you soon.
-Stay safe, and thank you very much.
-Alright. Will Forte, everyone.
